Freebird, tell me that your news anchor doesn't sound exactly like this impersonation of Kim Kardashian:
Make sure to let us know how that goes. Good luck!Got elected to my condo board. I must be crazy!

This reminds me of my significantly younger - and poorer - years when boards and concrete blocks were the major furniture items. Chairs were whatever folks [-]tossed out on garbage day[/-] didn't need. We had a small 13" black and white TV with rabbit ears. I am not afraid to admit whenever we ran out of toilet paper before payday we [-]took [/-]resupplied with a roll from the local gas station's restroom. There are just some things you can't afford to be without.We’re having the floors refinished. Multiple areas of water damage (roof, door) and damage from the previous owner when they moved out. The furniture is in the garage, so we had dinner tonight around a decorative table with some office chairs. Lots of reminiscing about “back in the day” when this was "it". Without the chairs, wine or nice plates of course The good old days.
Follow up: I think I now understand the reason for the CS rep's parting comments. I learned today had I not canceled my BC/BS policy my monthly premium would have increased by 27%...Called BC/BS to cancel my health insurance effective the end of the month when I go on Medicare. The gravel-voiced BC/BS customer service rep signed off the call with "Congratulations!"...and a hearty laugh.
Ironically I woke up to brilliant sunshine and an outdoor temperature of 64 degrees... and wondered the same thing.I woke up to brilliant sunshine and a weather forecast of a high of 54F.
Have I been relocated to some other latitude and just don't realize it?
Ouch!Follow up: I think I now understand the reason for the CS rep's parting comments. I learned today had I not canceled my BC/BS policy my monthly premium would have increased by 27%...
My ToDo list includes starting up the generator, moving some wood upstairs using my new hoist/gambrel system, and maybe mowing/chopping up the last of the fallen maple leaves on the back lawn. I am not used to being able to do outdoor things like this on this calendar date. No complaints!

I remember standing engine room watches when our submarine was transmitting HF. You could watch reactor power fluctuate significantly with the transmitter activation.Preparing to get a new ham radio (HF) in a couple of weeks when the local dealer has their big annual sale.
